55 BUSINESS VIEW MAGAZINE VOLUME 9, ISSUE 10 operated on the idea that in order to keep open spaces around our island intact, we need to have concentrated, smart growth centered around the urban environment. Ultimately, we are striving to thoughtfully deliver mixed-use environments on far less land – say, less than 5% of what would be used for a more suburban environment.” But it’s not just about initial construction and land use, Mr. Johnstone continues. “We have paid very close attention to how we can mitigate energy usage and water usage by employing data-collecting technology and best environmental practices- for example, our buildings are specifically designed to save heating and cooling costs. We look at the data to make informed decisions in design, ensure people are paying appropriately for their usage, and also to advise building management. There’s some very sophisticated technology out there that Ward Village engages with- it’s important to us that we do our due diligence and maintain environmental responsibility.” WARD V I LLAGE The Audio Visual Company specializes in the design, installation, and service of integrated audiovisual systems.
